Classified Area Study (IEC 60079)
A Classified Area Study (CAS), following the international standard IEC 60079, plays a critical role in mitigating explosion risks. This systematic process defines zones within a facility based on the likelihood of explosive atmospheres – categorized by the frequency, duration, and ignitability of flammable substances. The importance of a CAS lies in its ability to guide crucial safety measures.
Electrical Safety Inspection of Asset for Potentially Explosive Atmosphere, Hazardous Area Classification
Explosive atmospheres can arise in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present. These environments pose a significant threat of explosions if electrical equipment sparks or ignites flammable substances. To ensure the safety of your electrical assets and achieve proper classification of hazardous zones in potentially explosive atmospheres, Velosi offers a combined service. Our team of expert technical individuals verify the use of explosion-proof equipment, adherence to proper installation and maintenance practices, and robust grounding systems within the set zones.
This proactive approach helps prevent accidents, ensures regulatory compliance, and minimizes downtime. Additionally, Velosi’s comprehensive Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) regulates with the IEC 60079 standard. Through data gathering and analysis, our engineers carefully classify zones based on explosion risk, allowing you to develop targeted mitigation strategies to create a safe and compliant environment.
